Took a walk to the old town and to the China town district. On the way we visited the Heroes Monument and museum … really interesting. There were school parties there and we were asked to pose for photos with them! We found a great little vegetarian cafe in the back streets and stopped for lunch. On our way back we visited a mosque where we were mobbed by school children! Then a temple not far from our hotel. Somehow we’d walked over 8 miles!
Had a last swim in the pool.

| Chinatown in Surabaya is not like Chinatowns in the west. It is very much a commercial district with loads of small warehouses and trading centres. |
 |
| We ate at a Chinese vegetarian cafe which served simple but very tasty food. It was so cheap - about £2.50 each including drinks. |
 |
| Incredible fruit and vegetable stalls on our walk. |
 |
| Popped in to visit a Mosque. Java is 97% Muslim. |
 |
| Always a star with the children. They just loved Mrs C. |
 |
| English tourists are rare in East Java, especially since the pandemic. Wherever we went we were greeted with enthusiasm. These children were so delightful. |
